My invention relates to constructing the interior of a cuff-box body to receive and contain the cuffs and my invention consists in forming in the interior of-box by means of a partition or part itions a central inclosure which does notextend downwardly to the bottom of the box proper, and so as to produce between the central inclosure and the interior walls and bottom of the box another inclosnre having two end openings, which connect at the bottom beneath the central inclosure and between it and the usual bottom of the box, the object of the improvement being to form two inclosures, so that the central one may contain a curled and strapped package of cuffs, and the other inclosure extending from the ends of the box beneath the central inclosure and around it to receive a loose package of cuifs, which may be easily removed and shown to a purchaser without breaking a package.

In the accompanying drawings, formipg a part of. this specification, there aretwo figures illustrating my invention, and to designate the same parts of the box the same references are used.

Figure 1 shows in perspective the cover removed from the box, a portion of the cover being omitted for marginal room. Fig. 2 illustrates in perspective the box-body and the position of the cuffs within the inclosnres, portions of the dividing-partition being indicated by dotted lines.
